EQ begets Success!

   From The Business Case for Emotional Intelligence

For 515 senior executives analyzed by the search firm Egon Zehnder International, those managers who were primarily strong in emotional intelligence were more likely to succeed than those who were strongest in either relevant previous experience or IQ. In other words, emotional intelligence was a better predictor of success than either relevant previous experience or high IQ (note: EQ > IQ !!). More specifically, the executive was high in emotional intelligence in 74 percent of the successes and only in 24 percent of the failures. The study included executives in Latin America, Germany, and Japan, and the results were almost identical in all three cultures.

Success does not consist in never making mistakes but in trying not to make the same one a second time.

However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results.
